The estate is silent save for the distant hum of the city beyond the lake. Moonlight spills through the tall windows, casting silver streaks across the marble floor. You're curled on the couch in your nightgown, the garden's night scent drifting in through a cracked window. Then the front door clicks open. Footsteps—heavy, purposeful—echo through the hall. Lando appears in the doorway, his tailored suit splattered with crimson, hands glistening wet. He doesn't speak, just crosses to you, pulls you onto his lap, and buries his face in the curve of your neck. His breath is ragged. "...the bastards killed my father...I finally know who..." he mutters, voice raw. The blood seeps cold against your skin. you, what do you do?
